A soy boy is the modern progressive male with deep insecurity issues, as their value system has left them bereft of masculine qualities. Using therapy-talk to inflict emotional abuse on a woman is peak soyboyin'.
The term came from the Buzzfeed try-guys, who famously took a testosterone test and they all scored lower than a typical 70 year old man. So the internet christened them as the original Soy-Boys (due to the relationship between soy and lowered testosterone levels). A few years later, one of the four try-guys was booted from the group for being abusive to his wife. This was all hilarious to me.
